Default Plugs/Wires done. Thinking of skipping Seafoam

Well, the new plugs and wires are in (+4s and Mag's 8mm), and I'm concerned about fouling the plugs if I *now* do the induction cleaning.

There is a barely noticeable, slightly rough idle (only when warm) so I wanted to do the induction cleaning, but not sure I want to replace plugs again. Or would I only have to clean them?

I'm considering not doing it at all. Other than what I mentioned, the car is running great (great power - even on heavier load, no clicking, no oil leaks, no coolant leaks, etc.)

Would you do the induction cleaning (I have 94K now) or just skip it till/if it really starts to idle rough?

You need to throw a can of B&G's 44K in the tank and do the induction cleaning, not sure why you are worrying about fouling the plugs, it won't and you'll pick a mile plus per gallon and a smoother idle.

Good enough for me, Mike. Thanks!
Doing it this week.

Going to find a nice isolated industrial area near a highway to jump on right after.

Ha! There's Route 1&9 down around here. That sounds like a plan.

Will do. Did you have to explain it or did he understand once you showed him the can?

I appreciate that, Mike. 'Will definitely send you my info to touch base before I do it just to make sure my "research" and assumptions on the procedure are correct.

Thanks, Ed.
Unfortunately, I'll be away this weekend for a family emergency, so I guess this will have to wait till I return after Memorial Day.

Talk soon.
